When Project 90 by 2030 first arrived on the scene in 2007, we set up Carbon-Cutting Clubs in high schools in the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal with the aim of reducing the carbon footprints of the top South African schools and - by default - the learners' homes.

We love flash mobs and held our first at Silvermine.
Curious to know a little bit more about the Project 90 winning clubs, and what sort of ideas they had and projects they implemented? Our regional clubs coordinators have written a little about each club for us, so read on to find out more.
By Cape Town Clubs Coordinator Daniel Robinson Last week, Project 90 Club members were taking part in an exciting workshop run by Lee Middleton, an American journalist based in Africa for the past five years, and Mbali Vilakazi, an award winning performance poet and radio host, from the Children's Radio Foundation based in Cape Town.
Over 30 people turned up to help Project 90x2030 create an inspirational community vegetable garden for the 10/10/10 Global Work Party yesterday. This was one of over 7,000 work parties accross 188 countries to show global leaders that the climate movement is more diverse and more determined than ever and we simply won't give up until our planet is safe. We spent the day digging holes and trenches, shovelling clay, sifting sand, raking soil and planting, until the heavens opened and we ran for cover.
In August and September, Cosmos Productions teamed up with Project 90 to take Joyce’s Choices, a climate change themed show, on tour to schools in the Eastern and Western Cape. One of the show’s actors Fundi Zwane, is also an up and coming star of the SABC hit soapie Generations. She speaks to Cape Town Clubs coordinator Daniel Robinson about the Theatre for Change tour, fame and her views on Climate Change.
Project 90x2030 has partnered with Cosmos Productions to take the innovative climate change play, Joyce’s Choices, to learners around the Eastern Cape. The show was performed 15 times for around 2 146 high school learners. The play follows Joyce and the environmental choices she makes every day into the future: a hot, hot place where winter ceases to exist and water restrictions are commonplace. The play aims to raise awareness of climate change issues amongst high school learners and educators while inspiring them to take action, to create change in their lives and the lives of others. The play touches on humanity’s attachment to a consumer culture and how this is impacting adversely on our environment.
Daniel, our Western Cape clubs coordinator, went to Grahamstown to perform in Paraphernalia - a theatre show about consumerism - and got rave reviews!

Climate Change hits you like a bull on a rampage. Reality has hit and there's nothing you can do about it.
